The Chicago police release says Coleman Jeffrey. FOX 32 says Jeffrey Coleman.
A Chicago Police Department release dated November 8, 2026, names Coleman Jeffrey, 59, on a first-degree murder count in the Sept. 27 shooting of a 54-year-old man, and does not print the man's name. Nick Jachim, FOX 32, published at 5:16 p.m. CST, reverses the name and says police have not identified the victim. The Sun-Times names Mark Hurn and puts the Friday arrest in Greater Grand Crossing. The release puts it in the 6600 block of S. Michigan Ave.

Coleman Jeffrey, and Jeffrey Coleman, are not the same name order. Approximately 10:38 p.m., around 10:38 p.m., about 10:40 p.m., and about 10:38 a.m. are not the same clock. 2600 S. California, and 2650 S. California Ave., are not the same address. Greater Grand Crossing, and the 6600 block of S. Michigan Ave., are not the same arrest line. A charge is not a conviction.
The Chicago Police Department release is dated November 8, 2026, from the Office of Communications. It does not print an hour. The header names Fred L. Waller as interim superintendent. The offender line reads Coleman Jeffrey, 59, and the 500 block of E. 76th St., Chicago. The charge block prints one felony count of murder, first degree; one felony count of murder, strong probability of death or injured; and one felony count of possession of a firearm by a repeat felony offender. The words on the release are "Murder - First Degree," "Murder - Strong - Probability Death/Injured," and "Possession Firearm Repeat Felony Offender." Death/Injured is the release's ending. After that third count the release prints "Issuance of Warrant" and does not define the phrase as another count. It sets a detention hearing at 2600 S. California on November 8, 2026. It does not print the name George Leighton. It says he was arrested by members of the Chicago Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force on November 6, 2026, in the 6600 block of S. Michigan Ave. It says he was identified as the offender who, on September 27, 2026, at approximately 10:38 p.m., fatally shot a 54-year-old male victim in the 500 block of E. 76th St., in the 6th District. The offender line and the shooting line both print the 500 block of E. 76th St. Fatally shot is the release. It does not print the victim's name. It says no additional information is available at this time. It does not print a family argument, a sister, a hospital, a bond, or a lawyer.
Nick Jachim, FOX 32, published November 8, 2026, at 5:16 p.m. CST. The page prints that stamp twice. The brief says a 59-year-old Chicago man was arrested and charged with murder on Friday, Nov. 6, that the man shot and killed a 54-year-old man in Chicago on Sept. 27, and that police have not revealed the exact circumstances behind the shooting. Shot and killed, in that brief, and fatally shot, in the release, are not the same verb. The body says that on Sept. 27 around 10:38 p.m., a Chicago man, Jeffrey Coleman, shot and killed a 54-year-old man on E. 76th Street in Chicago, according to the Chicago Police Department. Jeffrey Coleman, in that sentence, and Coleman Jeffrey, on the release, are not the same order, and the page attributes the sentence to the department. Around 10:38 p.m., and approximately 10:38 p.m., are not the same adverb. E. 76th Street, and the 500 block of E. 76th St., are not the same address line. The photograph is captioned, "Jeffrey Coleman, arrested for murder, (Photo Courtesy: Chicago Police Department)." The image file on that page is named coleman-jeffrey-59.png. Jeffrey Coleman, in the caption, and coleman-jeffrey, in the file name, are not the same order, and they are on the same page. It says police arrested Coleman on Nov. 6, 2026, and charged him with First Degree Murder, Murder with Strong Probability of Death or Injury, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Repeat Felony Offender. Unlawful is FOX 32. It is not a word on the release's firearm line. Death or Injury, and Death/Injured, are not the same ending. It does not print the 6600 block of S. Michigan Ave. It does not print the U.S. Marshals. It does not print a detention hearing. It says that at this time, police have not identified who the victim was, and that the exact circumstances behind the shooting have not been revealed either. Have not identified who the victim was is this November 8 page. The source line says the story was written from a Chicago Police Department news release and was reported out of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
The Chicago Sun-Times, by Sun-Times Wire, on the November 8, 2026, page, does not print a clock on the byline. The deck says Coleman Jeffrey, 59, was arrested on Friday in Greater Grand Crossing, and that he is accused of fatally shooting Mark Hurn, 54, on Sept. 27 in the 500 block of East 76th Street. Accused of fatally shooting is the Sun-Times. Arrested on Friday in Greater Grand Crossing, and arrested on November 6 in the 6600 block of S. Michigan Ave., are not the same place. The body says a 59-year-old man was charged with first-degree murder following a fatal September shooting in Greater Grand Crossing, Chicago police said. It prints that one count. It does not print the strong-probability count or the firearm count. It says that at the time, police said the shooting stemmed from a family argument, that a witness told officers the fight was about the shooter and the care of his mother, that Hurn was the boyfriend of the alleged shooter's sister, and that he was shot in his chest, abdomen and legs. Those sentences are not in the November 8 release, which says no additional information is available. They are not on FOX 32, which says the circumstances have not been revealed and the victim has not been identified. It says Jeffrey was scheduled to appear in court on Sunday at the George Leighton Criminal Courthouse, 2650 S. California Ave. 2650 S. California Ave., and 2600 S. California, are not the same number. George Leighton is the Sun-Times. It is not on the release. The caption says Coleman Jeffrey was to appear at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse Sunday. Was to appear, in the caption, and was scheduled to appear, in the body, are not the same tense, and they are on the same page. The September 28 Sun-Times page, also by Sun-Times Wire, does not name a suspect. It says Mark Hurn, 54, was fatally shot late Sunday in the 500 block of East 76th Street. It does not print Sept. 27. It says a family argument turned violent late Sunday, "and a man now is accused of shooting chis sister's boyfriend to death" late Sunday in Greater Grand Crossing, according to a police report. Chis is the spelling on that page. It says police responded to a call of a person shot about 10:40 p.m. and found Mark Hurn with gunshot wounds to his chest, abdomen and legs. About 10:40 p.m., approximately 10:38 p.m., and around 10:38 p.m. are not the same clock. It says he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead at 11:22 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. 11:22 p.m. and the medical center are that page. They are not on the November charge pages. It says a witness told officers a family argument started about the alleged shooter and the care of his mother, that the alleged shooter became hostile and asked him to "step outside," that relatives still in the house heard three gunshots, and that the alleged shooter was running away. Three gunshots, and step outside, are the September page. It says Area 2 detectives were investigating. Area 2, and the 6th District on the release, are not the same unit line. ABC7 Chicago, by the ABC7 Chicago Digital Team, dated Monday, September 28, 2026, says the man was fatally shot in the Chatham neighborhood. Chatham, and Greater Grand Crossing, are not the same neighborhood name. It says the shooting happened Sunday at about 10:38 a.m. in the 500-block of East 76th Street. About 10:38 a.m., and about 10:38 p.m., are not the same half of the day. 500-block, with the hyphen, is ABC7. It says police found a 54-year-old man on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds and that he was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital, where he later died. On the sidewalk is ABC7. University of Chicago Hospital, and University of Chicago Medical Center, are not the same name. It says he was identified as Mark Hurn, 54, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, and that a witness said he was involved in a verbal altercation before the shooting. A verbal altercation, and a family argument, are not the same account. It says no other information was available and that CPD is conducting a homicide investigation. It does not name a suspect. It does not print Sept. 27. The November release names Coleman Jeffrey and does not name Mark Hurn. The November Sun-Times names both. FOX 32's November page says the victim has not been identified. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

FOX 4 says Jimmy Harold Spurger Jr. was booked Saturday on a first-degree murder warrant. WFAA says the arrest was Friday.
Saturday morning, and Friday, are not the same custody clock. Around 10:40 p.m., and approximately 11:13 p.m., are not the same call.
